Solution

GIVEN: A bag contains5 red, 8 green and 7 white balls
TO FIND: Probability of getting a white ball or a green ball.
Total number of balls=5+8+7=20
Total number of green or white balls=8+7=15
We know that PROBABILITY $= \frac{Number of favourable event}{Total number of event}$
Hence probability of getting a green or a white ball $= \frac{15}{20} = \frac{3}{4}$ .
